Good morning girls. Welcome to Pink Saturday, hosted by Beverly, at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/myweblog/. Be sure to visit Beverly's beautiful blog to see a complete list of all the participants in today's Pink Saturday. While searching for pink this week I remembered this wonderful book. We've had it for many years now and each Christmas I take it out to read and re-read the beautiful poems. They are all so touching and so moving. I chose to put this stately deer and some vintage mercury ornaments around it. And adding another vintage touch is this beautiful antique hat and stand.

This beautiful antique book titled A Christmas Prayer has a copy right of 1915. It has a few frayed edges and water spots. We believe this belonged to my beloved Mother In Law. The poems are absolutely beautiful.

From the book:

Dear Lord, these friends of mine,

where they may stray,

Wilt Thou bear each Thy blessing

on this day?

For now the season comes when

Yule" logs burn,

When hearts grow kind, and sweeter

dreamings turn

Unto these olden, golden friends.

I pray

Thy benediction on them all this

day,

And let Thy light of love and mercy

shine,

Dear Lord, this day, on all these

friends of mine!

I'm so glad you came by for Pink Saturday. I know you have others to visit and last minute touches to mark off your Christmas list. Don't forget to stop by Beverly's over at

With the ups and downs we face I try to keep a firm upper lip and a smile on my face. We love when you stop by and leave your sweet comments. Please have patience with me coming by to visit you, it may take me a while, but rest assured I'll get there. Thanks so much for you understanding and continued support.
